Chapter 961 Corpse Change
Helnorson is an oriental city near the sea. The county of Ampera, which belongs to the Horngorat Empire, is not so much a seaside. In fact, half of the city is built on the sea surface and is usually used as a port. ←,
The architectural style of Heer Northon is very unique. Many houses look like enlarged conchs or shells. Although it is strange, it looks quite beautiful.
The reason is very simple, not because the aesthetic view of Heer Northon's residents is different from that of the inland, but because the original builder of the city was not human, but the sea tribe.
During the Great Migration Period, the natives of the eastern plains, such as the dog-headed men, the gray dwarfs and many sub-ethnic groups, were expelled, annexed or enslaved by humans, and even worse, they were even not far from the extermination of the clan.
The sea tribe is also one of the victims.
After occupying Heer Northon, the sea tribes lost their last stronghold on land. Later, they tried to attack human merchant ships in the sea and achieved considerable results in a certain period of time, until the Horngorat Empire sent a dozen high-level magicians to plow all the nearshore.
For a whole month, the sea was covered with corpses of the sea tribe. Every day, you can see dense carnivorous fish coming with the smell of blood, devouring so many corpses that could almost cover the sea surface.
After understanding that things cannot be done, the king of the sea clan at that time took the surviving sea clans to flee far away from the deep sea. The route of humans near the sea clans was settled. Although they were occasionally robbed by the sea clans, it was only considered a disease of sores and scabies compared to the past.
As a famous port city, Heer Northon has a very good geographical location and has become a hub for several popular routes after its expansion, and it is natural to become rich.
The daily throughput of several ports in the city is extremely amazing. Half of this city built on the sea, commercial tax alone accounts for nearly 20% of Horngolat's income. For Horngolat, Helnorson is undoubtedly an important source of economic output, like an inexhaustible gold mine.
But things seem to be wrong today.
The old boatman responsible for guiding the mooring boat frowned and looked at the ship that had passed the huge gate in front of him and slowly sailed into the harbor in the city.
The brig ship with the bow of the ship with the "Silver Banner" written in paint was like a violent typhoon just after it was experienced. Just by looking at it, it gave people a feeling of being in a mess.
The original two-massed ship had broken the middle mast at this time. You can vaguely see half of the mast standing desolately in the center of the ship, guiding the navigation by only a broken sail hanging from the rear mast. The upper level of the cabin seemed to have been blown away by a typhoon, and the cabin exposed to the hull can only be described as ruins.
The hull was broken and covered with scars after being attacked by some weapon. Many holes were still waving out of the holes. To be honest, this ship was able to return to Heer Northon safely, which was already a miracle.
There seemed to be no professional sailors on the ship, and even the number of sailors was insufficient. After finally sailing into Heer Northon's harbor, there was still no strength to park. Finally, it hit the dock hard, smashing the entire bow of the ship to pieces, and the ship finally ended its life.
Several old boatmen in Heer Northon worked hard for a long time before they put the wooden boards used as bridges on the deck of the silver flag.
After a moment, a few ragged men walked down staggeringly from inside.
One of them was wearing a captain's uniform and bearded with a dish-like face, although he looked tired, but he grabbed a boatman's collar with anger and roared at him: "Take me to see the city lord. It will be too late!"
Several old boatmen looked at each other in a tricky manner.
Although Heer Northon's city lord is quite good, he is not as domineering as ordinary nobles in the city. He has a good reputation in the city, but he is not something you can see at will.
"I have something very important," perhaps realizing that his tone was not very good, and the bearded man tried to calm himself down. He let go of his hand and said in a very serious tone: "I have something very important to tell the city lord. If I fail to inform him in time, maybe the entire Heer Northon will be burned! Can you bear this responsibility?"
"This gentleman is not an ordinary person who travels to the Caspian Sea (the Caspian Sea refers to a near-shore area without sea tribes. It is a saying among sailors. It is similar to running around the rivers and lakes. It is not a Caspian Sea, but it means the ocean route the other party takes. It requires extraordinary courage and technology and a considerable degree of luck. However, people who walk across the ocean will be more respected in this industry)," an old boatman probably realized that the other party was not exaggerating, so he lowered his face and asked: "I wonder if I have this honor to hear your name?"
"I am Genod, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of Silver Flags under the mercenary group 'Silver Hand'. He should also have a branch of Silver Hand in Heer Northon. You can ask them to verify my identity."
The bearded man said in a deep voice: "But the same thing is the case, move quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Half an hour later
"You mean, you found Dragon Island overseas?"
Heer Northon's city lord asked with his hands on his chin.
"Yes, we logged in and checked it out." Genod replied respectfully.
"This is not news... In fact, there are not many merchant ships that drifted the island, especially the ocean route." The city lord shrugged with a calm expression.
"I know. I grew up listening to the legend of Dragon Island."
Genod's face was still very ugly: "But the problem is... the dragons on Dragon Island are all dead."
The lord of Heer Northon shook his hand and almost knocked over the coffee cup that was placed aside.
"What did you say?! Can you be sure what you said is true?"
"Sorry, my crew and I only saw the body of a dragon... The dragon crystal of that guy was still under our cabin. The news that the dragons on the island were destroyed was told by another fleet of survivors on Dragon Island."
Genod's face changed and he finally said truthfully.
"Survivor of another fleet?"
"Yes, we met him on the edge of Dragon Island. He was fleeing at the time. He was very embarrassed..."
"Wait," the city lord raised his hand to interrupt Genod. He took a sip of coffee and continued to ask: "Since the dragons on Dragon Island are dead, why does that guy still have to escape? At this time, don't you come while it's hot... Cough, is it normal to take the opportunity to collect precious materials on the dragon's corpse?"
"This is my purpose for coming to see you." Genod's face became even worse: "The corpse of the dragon on the island has undergone corpses. Now there are about hundreds of dragon zombies, the dragon and the bone dragon are flying towards it."
Hearing this, the face of the lord of Heer Northon suddenly lost blood. The exquisite coffee cup at hand that had to escape was finally unable to escape the disaster. It was accidentally dropped on the ground, and after making a crisp sound, it turned into a pile of fragments. (To be continued...)
ps: The Return of the Great Sage is really a good film. There are only a few conscientious works left in Chinese animation. After watching it, we have turned into tap water. I recommend that interested readers go and see it. Just use it as a support for domestic animation~
